Can I save many images at once ?

Question

Is there a way to save multiple images, after editing in Photoshop Elements 12 ?
I can save them one at a time, but this is pretty tedious when I have 1,000 or more to do, after flipping them all.

Can you explain it easier for me? I am very beginner at Photoshop Elements.
I am doing that: Open P.Elements > File > Open in Camera Raw > (Select Files, e.g. 100 from some trip) > (Do some changes to all images) > Click Open Image in P.Elements > (Do some other retouch) > File/Close All > Click Yes I want to save changes to file > and then I need to change format to JPEG, click Yes to overwrite file and Ok to JPEG option for all e.g. 100 files. Can I do this more automatically way? (e.g. click save change for every JPEG and confirm once)
Thanks in advance for help.
When you use the ACR dialog to edit your raw images, after editing each picture, you have the choice to use the 'Done' button, which saves your edit settings in a tiny sidecar xmp file. Or if you need additional editing in the Elements editor, you click 'Open' and continue editing in the editor. In that case, yes, you have to save the result as jpeg and that creates a version set with a jpeg associated with the raw file. In your case, be sure that the menu on the bottom bar is set to export to 8 bits; that way the jpeg format will be preselected and you won't have to choose the format each time.
In a normal workflow, you won't have to do many additional edits in the editor. You'll simply use the 'Done' button most of the time.
Now, you generally need jpeg versions for different purposes: printing at home or from an external service, showing on your display or on the Web. You have to select the pictures for each purpose and choose the right format, size for your purpose, for instance printing or sending to the Web. That's where the organizer comes into play. Different ways to select your files to output, in albums for instance. The File/'Export as new files' lets you choose those formats and size; it will also let you rename your pictures; it will create the jpegs you want as new files ready for your purpose, even if your original files are raws.
Some users want to get a jpeg version of a batch of raw files even without opening the raw files in the ACR module. The above method also works for them.
If you don't use the Organizer, you also have a way from the editor: the File/process multiple files menu. That will work from either open files, or from files within a folder.
